Patented July 8, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JOHN D. WALSH, on NEW YORK, N. Y., AND LOUIS c. ANTRIM, OF JERSEY cITYQNE-W ERsEY; SAID ANTRIM. ASSIGNOR 'ro WALTER F. WALSH, E BOSTON, MASSACHU- SETTS CONTAINER Application filed February 2, 1928. Serial No. 251,260.

It is an object of our invention to design a box container of multiple form paper, folded or in rolls, to be supplied to the consumers in the box per se, the box, however, being of a nature adapted to be used as a register.

It is particularly our object to design a container of this type adapted to have an auxiliary cover interposed between the box proper and the cover of the box which auxiliary I plate or cover'will contain the necessary ele- 'ments to cause the whole when in position to function similar to the manner in which an autographic register functions. Our invention will be more readily understood by reference to the attached drawing in which like figures refer to like parts.

, Fig. 1 shows a perspective View of the sections of the cover. 7

. Fig. 2 shows a side elevation through the plane ZZ with the paper folded.

' Fig. 3 shows side elevation through the plane ZZ with rolls.

. Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of our auxiliary plate.

Referring more particularly to Fig. 1, B is the main. box or container which contains the folded forms X of Fig. 2 or the rolls R, R or R" of Fig. 3. If rolls are used suitablebearingholes in the box B are provided to support the rolls. The'cover C is designed with openings" E and G; the former giving access to the paper for writing and the latter giving access to the portion of form F where it may be torn oil. We provide the plate P,

preferably constructed of metallic material,

which fits over the to of the box B and beneath the cover C. he Iplate P is provided 7 y whichguide the paper inits travel. It is also provided with the lugs S and S, to protrude through properholes in the paper forms provided therefor to secure the positioning of the paper and to stop it when the successive sheets'are torn ofi. The plate is also provided integral with a receptacle R for the purpose of holding carbon sheets A which come out through the slot D. It will be noted that our plate P is so constructed that it may be formed from 50 one stamping. The operation of the paper is apparent from the drawings and foregoing specifications.

I Having thus described our invention. what we claim and desire to secure by United StatesLetters' Patent is:

'In a container of the type described, a base portion adapted to contain multiple fold continuous form paper, a cover cut to permit access to said paper for writing and for withdrawing and a'meta-llic plate adapted to be interposed between said base and said cover provided with a slotted carbon paper receptacle integral with said plate, all as and for the purposes herein described.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands to these specifications this 25th day- I
